STD

I just returned from long weekend away and discovered I had all the symptoms of gonorrhea. I called around and NO place was open on Saturday. I was with a potential sexual partner and panicked. I discovered a bottle of Minocycline 100 MG tablets. I took two pills Saturday and Sunday, one on Monday and Tuesday. The symptoms discharge and painful urination are gone. I am now back in the city with access to health facilities. Should I go and be tested ? Should I continue the Minocycline ? I have a( 25) 100 MG left.  HELP. I am really nervous.

Because self medication is never the way to go.
And I don't like just treating something that you have no clue what it is. That is why I say test before more medication.
